Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's daughter Sara Ali Khan made her Bollywood debut opposite late Sushant Singh Rajput in Kedarnath. She went on to deliver films like Simmba and Coolie No. 1. However, just like other star kids, Sara too has been under attack by netizens due to the raging nepotism debate.


Now, in a recent interview, the actress opened up on how she feels when she's called a star kid. Speaking to Hindustan Times, Sara said, "It's a tricky question to ask because everything changes when you are an outsider versus when you are an insider. You can't compare. The one thing I will tell you is I am very lucky and privileged to be in this industry. I have even forgotten what it is like to not be a part of it, I don't remember how I thought it used to be. I am privileged to be given this opportunity that's all I know."


"Everything I do comes from my mother, whether it's styling or films. I bounce everything to her, but the irony of that statement is she has told me 'listen as your mother, I can tell you what I think, but ultimately the only thing you have to rely on is conviction. If you don't feel it, don't do it, whether it's the colour of your nail paint, the shot you are giving or films. All has to come from an honest space', and that's the mantra to life, I feel," she added.


The actress who is shooting during the pandemic for her upcoming projects talked about the new normal. "While of course there are physical changes, considering the times that we are in, the passion, positivity, enthusiasm with which my director of photography, actors, director, ads, spotboys, all of are just back. Shiddat hai, longing thi. Maheenon ghar pe band reh kar. I think that doesn't change that passion, which is the only thing which stands the test of Covid, big screen, small screen. It doesn't matter beyond a point! We make movies to have fun."

A few days ago, the Simmba actress talked about her younger brother Ibrahim Ali Khan, and why he would be lucky to enter the film industry. "My only tip to him would be to just be an all-rounded human being. You know, I think that films are a beautiful business and he would be lucky to enter this world. And if he needs advice in terms of acting or anything like that he has many people in the family also to turn to there are much bigger actors and stars and you know, much more experienced than I am", she said.

On the work front, Sara was last seen in Coolie No.1 alongside Varun Dhawan. Directed by David Dhawan, who also directed the original movie, Varun and Sara's Coolie No. 1 also featured Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Sahil Vaid, Manoj Joshi, and was released on December 25, 2020. She will be next seen in Atrangi Re. Directed by Aanand L. Rai, the drama also stars Akshay Kumar and Dhanush.
